Genetic assignment methods provide an appealing approach for characterizing dispersal patterns on ecological time scales, but require sufficient genetic differentiation to accurately identify migrants and a large enough sample size of migrants to, for example, compare dispersal between sexes or age classes. We demonstrate that assignment methods can be rigorously used to characterize dispersal ...

tuberculosis is an infectious disease that caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis (tb). despite the implementation of free treatment, detection rate of tb remains low. lake of awareness is a main reason for not expressing symptoms in patients. the study aimed to determine the level ofawareness about tb among rural areas of gorgan. this study was cross-sectional research which was conducted in 201...

Background Genome-wide association studies and genomic predictions are thought to be optimized by using whole-genome sequence (WGS) data. However, sequencing thousands of individuals of interest is expensive. Imputation from SNP panels to WGS data is an attractive and less expensive approach to obtain WGS data. The aims of this study were to investigate the accuracy of imputation and to provide...

This paper describes measurements and simulations related to power fluctuations of the laser light in the GEO 600 laser-interferometric gravitational wave detector. Measurements of the relative fluctuations of the light power at three different ports of the main interferometer are presented. In addition, measurements and simulations of the coupling transfer functions from power fluctuations at ...

Minkowski and Ochs have recently argued that the small two photon coupling of a conjectured σ(600) is so small that it is likely to be a glueball. We ask whether this can be so or whether it is simply gauge invariance that produces the observed low mass suppression?

We study the a0 and σ mesons with the overlap fermion in the chiral regime with the pion mass as low as 182MeV in the quenched approximation. After the ηN ghost states are separated, we find that the a0 mass with qq̄ interpolation field to be almost independent of the quark mass in the region below the strange quark mass. The chirally extrapolated results are consistent with a0(1450) being the u...

1 Abstract The DECNIS 500/600 high-performance multiprotocol bridge/router and gateway are described. The issues affecting the design of routers with this class of performance are outlined, along with a description of the architecture and implementation. The system described uses a distributed forwarding algorithm and a distributed buffer management algorithm executed on plug-in linecards to ac...

The circuit techniques used to implement a 600MHz, out-of-order, superscalar RISC Alpha microprocessor are described. Innovative logic and circuit design created a chip that attains 30+ SpecInt95 and 50+ SpecFP95, and supports a secondary cache bandwidth of 6.4GB/s. Microarchitectural techniques were used to optimize latencies and cycle time, while a variety of static and dynamic design methods...
